The night was getting deeper, the candlelight was flickering, and in the Han King's Mansion, Lu Zhaoyi and Xia Yuancheng were sitting side by side.

And what they were facing was Xia Sheng, who woke up in the middle of the night.

As soon as he walked into the hall, his affectionate eyes kept looking at Lu Zhaoyi, and he didn't even move away from his cousin to greet him.

Being looked at like this made Lu Zhaoyi feel like he was on pins and needles, his heart was irritable, and he shouted in his heart that he shouldn't have come to look for him today.

On the other hand, Xia Sheng also saw it, knowing that he was not welcomed, so he once regained his demeanor and bit his lip.

"Lone heard that Beggar Tower was assassinated, why didn't you go to catch the assassin and come to Lone's Hanwang Mansion?"

The beggar tower is the name of the envoy of the Tuoba Department.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhaoyi hurriedly answered, "We got the news that the first person the Tuoba envoy met before entering Luojing was you!"

"Oh, what do you think is the matter?" Xia Sheng chuckled, not caring about it, "If I have seen him once, then when I see him, it can mean that I am suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

This really does not mean that he has colluded with the Xianbei people.

And when she looked at Xia Sheng, there was some hesitation in her eyes.

With Xia Sheng's current state and look, what he said is not like a fake, and this also made her heart relax slightly.

"Did I tell you that you were suspected of treason? As the responsibility of Taiqu Pavilion, King Han, you are indeed suspicious. Therefore, please also ask King Han to make it clear, what did you and the envoy talk about?"

Xia Sheng stared at her gaze, with a slightly amused expression, and his expression was extremely relaxed, "Out of the etiquette of foreign envoys, is there a problem with treating each other politely?"

He had a lazy posture, one arm on the table, not squinting, and seemed to be extremely provocative.

At this time, Xia Yuancheng, who had not spoken, couldn't help it, slapped the table, stood up and asked, "Cousin Hanwang is like this...... It's not right, Mrs. Lu is the future sister-in-law and your future sister-in-law, you can't play your future sister-in-law like this......

This question made both of them stunned on the spot.

And Lu Zhaoyi opened his mouth, stunned for a moment, and then shouted in surprise, "It's not easy to hear the word 'future' in your mouth, I'm very pleased."

Her words made Xia Yuancheng confused, and she always felt that she was still ridiculing him.

Xia Sheng coughed his throat, re-assumed his posture, changed to a dignified posture, and said indifferently, "Yuan Cheng's speech is immature, the Seventh Lady doesn't have to mind, my eldest brother asked him to be the commander of Taiqu Pavilion, and he already took a fancy to his pure temperament, so he was easy to handle......

"You ......" Xia Yuancheng's face turned red, "Anyway, I'm also familiar with ancient books and laws, I'm ...... I'm going to get real, I'm scared of myself......

"Then you move one, and let my cousin take a look!" Xia Sheng's tone was not too strong from beginning to end, every sentence was extremely warm, but he was not like such a weak scholar, and his temper could still be seen.

On the contrary, Xia Yuancheng is a belly of ink, has never been on the battlefield, and all his understanding of the outside world is through the words on the bamboo slips, and he does not know how to change.

In Lu Zhaoyi's opinion, the position of Taiqu Pavilion Commander is the most practical thing to put on him.

It will not make the clan feel the suppression, and there is room for each other, and there is no need to be needle-pointed.

Perhaps, this is Xia Pei, who is essentially different from treating his own family and governing the world.

It is true that Lu Zhaoyi just understood in his heart, and he didn't say it as bluntly as Xia Sheng, but it hurt Xia Yuancheng's heart.

"Ge Ling, sit down!" She spoke out in time and pulled back the indignant Xia Yuancheng, "There are some things, don't rush for a while, solve the matter in front of you first."

Lu Zhaoyi's words were nothing more than wanting to take this opportunity to divert his attention and divert Xia Yuancheng's attention.

He sat down, picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "As the commander of the Taiqu Pavilion, I have to act impartially, cousin Hanwang, if you are really treasonous, forgive my cousin for being rude."

Xia Sheng stopped and suddenly showed weakness, "What the Pavilion Order said

Yes, but Gu Zhen is not familiar with the beggar tower, and besides, it is the will of the eldest brother that I go to see him, Lone, can you not obey?"

"Your Majesty?" Lu Zhaoyi was surprised.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, raising a curvature, "Don't believe it? Won't you just ask?"

"Good!" Lu Zhaoyi got up, prepared to leave with Xia Yuancheng, and blessed his body, "I broke into the Han King's Mansion in the middle of the night, please forgive me...... Order, let's go!"

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he hadn't gone far when Xia Sheng suddenly rushed in front of them and met Lu Zhaoyi's eyes.

"Seven Ladies...... When he came back from Wuwei in Liangzhou, it seemed that everything had changed, and so did Yang Wenxu, who actually closed his door and didn't want to see Lonely, and Lone really became a lonely person."

This remark made her feel very ridiculous in her heart.

In Chang'an in Guanzhong before, everything he did conspired with Yang Xian and Cui Qingshuang, and used her power and prestige to form a gang in Guanzhong, and now blame her for not understanding him, I really think it's funny.

She raised her eyes, still with a kind smile, "Does King Han only care about himself and not others? The rudder and branch hall of the Drifting Snow Building and the Tianxia Alliance in Guanzhong have all been forced to move out due to your conflict of interests...... Is the King of Han still satisfied?"

"No......" Xia Sheng tried his best to argue, "That's not the case, Qi Niangzi, we are allies, and mine is yours...... As long as you promise not to marry the eldest brother, Yongzhou, I will pay you back......

"That's it!" Lu Zhaoyi looked away and stopped looking at him, "After all, the Tao is not the same, and the people that King Han wants to try his best to win over are the people that I, Lu Qiniang, must bring down, you say, how else can we be allies?"

"You're going to bring them down? Why?" Xia Sheng didn't understand.

In his understanding, those people are the foundation of the society, without the family, how can there be the people of the world, if there is no control of the family, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

He didn't understand, and he wanted to figure it out.

"Oops, hey......"

Seeing him get closer and closer, Xia Yuancheng came out in time, blocking between the two, tilting his head and looking at hostility, "She is the future sister-in-law, I really can't tolerate being rude to her...... Cousin Han Wang, if you don't respect yourself anymore, I'm going to call the officials......" Chinese Net

The officials of the Yamen of the Taiqu Pavilion are all over Luojing City tonight, and in the middle of the night, as long as he calls, the nearby officials will immediately hear it and rush to it.

He can't let Lu Zhaoyi be bullied like this anymore, if she is wronged, he will definitely sue Xia Pei!

"Humph!"

Seeing Xia Yuancheng protecting, Xia Sheng snorted coldly, "Do you think you can stop it?"

"You dare?" His eyes widened.

"Boy, you can give it a try...... Xia Pei glanced at him disdainfully, and immediately, a group of sword-wielding guards appeared all over the entire courtyard, surrounding the two of them.

Xia Sheng chuckled, and his eyes turned into a thick anger, as if they were not the same as the faces he had shown to the world before.

"Qi Niang, don't leave tonight. How about staying in the lonely cold king's mansion? Lonely, I want you to do it, the most enviable woman in the world......

Lu Zhaoyi's eyes were a little cool, his throat couldn't help but ache and itch, and an inexplicable fear poured into his brain from his chest.

"King Han, how did you become like this?"

And Xia Yuancheng was already too frightened to move, and the cousin who saw him for the first time, with such a face, immediately shouted for help.

"The officials of the Taiqu Pavilion listen to the order, and the order of this cabinet is here......

When he shouted, his throat was hoarse, causing him to shout out a tone that no one was familiar with, let alone responded.

"Huh!"

At this moment, a loud mixed voice came from a distance, "Then what if I try it...... How should I deal with the King of Han......

This voice is so familiar......

Lu Zhaoyi immediately listened carefully and was very familiar with it, and immediately, the whole person suddenly became much more energetic.

"You ......" Xia Sheng was surprised, "Why did Henan Yin visit late at night?"

The person who came was Li Qian.

He walked in a hurry, with a strong body, and with a group of guards in armor, he rushed into the Han King's Mansion and took down a group of sword-wielding guards.

These guards are the only troops in Dayuan that are not under the control of the Xia clan, and they are indeed the Lingwu army of the original Ling Kingdom, which is under the direct control of the Fifth Langya.

Military power represents checks and balances. Since the unification of the world, even Duke Wu and His Majesty today are afraid of the power.

Since Li Qian was able to move out of this part of the guards, it also proved in a certain sense that he was the designated successor of the Fifth Langya.

Xia Sheng is not stupid, this kind of power is in Luojing, no matter who has to give three points, not to mention him, a nominally powerless king?

"It turned out to be Li Fuyin, what happened when you entered the lonely palace?" Xia Sheng asked a little solemnly.

"Your Majesty's will, order Taiqu Changshi Lu Niangzi to enter the Xuanwu Temple and investigate the case!"

As he spoke, he touched an edict and placed it in front of everyone, "You can see clearly, this is Your Majesty's imperial pen, and I hope you will retreat quickly, so that Lu Niangzi can take over the case as soon as possible, if something goes wrong, I will ask you."

His words were sonorous and powerful, and everyone who was shocked was shocked.

Lu Zhaoyi's heart beat violently, and he knelt on the ground in a hurry, "The minister's order!"

took the oracle, opened it and looked at it, she saw very clearly that it was indeed Xia Pei's imperial pen.

She didn't figure out whether this time it was Xia Pei who saved her, or Li Qian in front of her.

Hurry up the horses, the three horses march in Luojing City at night, Li Qianqin leads the way, and Lu Zhaoyi and Xia Yuancheng follow closely behind.

On the way to Xuanwuguan, they had a brief exchange.

The envoy confirmed that he had died, and the place of death was in Guannei, and he also confirmed with the internal supervisor in the palace that Xia Pei had indeed sent King Han to entertain the envoy.

It's just that they don't know if there is any greasy in this, but this incident is no coincidence!

Until he arrived outside the Xuanwu Temple, everything here completely made Lu Zhaoyi dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty arranged this?"
